Win Ghirardelli Chocolate for Valentine’s Day!

Ghirardelli calls this tempting package of chocolates (see left) their “What’s New” Gift Box. We just call it Ghirardelli heaven. Enter now to win this $55 box of chocolate goodness. (Nobody will know if you keep it for yourself or share it with your special someone.)

Life without chocolate? Sorry, we’re not going to do it. But when we do indulge, we try to choose high quality, dark chocolate—and we limit our portions to an ounce. While we’re not saying that chocolate bars are “health food” by any means, dark chocolate does have some health benefits. Flavanolsare a type of flavonoid (naturally occurring, health-promoting plant compounds) specifically found in cocoa and they have been shown to reduce blood pressure, improve the flexibility of arteries, make blood less likely to clot and help reduce cholesterol levels.The more cacao in the chocolate, the darker it will be, and the more flavanols it will contain.

Ghirardelli makes a number of dark chocolate products; you can check them out (or order some) on the Ghirardelli website. One that we’re liking for Valentine’s day is the Intense Dark Sea Salt Soiree bar. Though there are Ghirardelli bars with a higher percentage of cacao, (and we adore those, too) we think this combo of dark chocolate, almonds and a little bit of sea salt is extra special for Valentine’s day. (Incidentally, if your Valentine really prefers milk chocolate, consider the Gourmet Milk 32% Creamy Devotion bar. The name alone should score you some extra points.)

Here are the specifics on our Ghirardelli Valentine’s chocolate prize; the “What’s New” Gift Box has a $55 value and includes the following items:

Comments

I indulge in chocolate so very rarely, but when I do it is usually dark chocolate. And having the best quality chocolate available is important to me because I want to savor each bite. High quality ingredients, a family owned business with a fantastic reputation, Ghiaradelli meets all of my standards for chocolate.

Every woman can appreciate the power of chocolate. A fine piece a chocolate can totally calm and relax a woman and if you can find a man who supports this miracle he is a keeper. A good piece of chocolate can save a marriage and end an argument.

Chocolate makes the perfect Valentine’s Day gift because it is about creating a luxurious experience and showing the person they are special, Chocolate is so indulgent and lets the receiver enjoy something just for themselves. It puts everyone in a better mood!

Quality dark chocolate is so much smoother than mediocre dark chocolate. You can definitely tell the difference when the chocolate is quality because it melts like butter in your mouth. With mediocre chocolate, it kind of just sits in your mouth and doesn’t have the right consistency or taste.

quality chocolate makes the perfect gift for Valentine’s day because it not only tells your sweetheart that you think they are sweet and special, they are quality special. I not only bought you chocolate, I bought the best chocolate, because you are worth it.

Quality chocolate makes the perfect gift because it tastes so good and after one bite you will be hooked. Ghiradelli chocolate is some of the best chocolate in the world. Everyone should have the chance to try it at least once in their lifetime, and Valentine’s day is the perfect time to give or get such a great gift.

Once you have tried/eaten good quality Chocolate like Ghirardelli, there is no going back to cheap chocolate. Good quality melt in your mouth chocolate is an indulgance well worth the calories, and research has shown it can be good for your heart and your health. So EAT CHOCOLATE!

I think Quality Chocolate makes the perfect Valentines day gift because it specifically tells the person that they are special and deserve the best. Quality chocolate is roasted to perfection with beans,and has a very rich flavor, and you can select the amount of cacao %. It satisfies the chocolate craving effectively. Unlike regular milk chocolate which has a higher percentage of sugar and isn’t made from beans but made from a powder.

I think that quality chocolate makes a perfect Valentine’s Day,because when you give good chocolate it means more than giving cheaper chocolate it means that the one you give it to is worth the higher price.Ghiaradelli Chocolate is one of the best that you can buy.I have like and shared on Facebook,tweeted,and shared on Google +,and Pinterest,and StumbleUpon.

There is no better chocolate than ghiaradelli, and while it makes a wonderful Valentines gift, it makes an even better everyday treat;) I keep myself on track by rewarding myself one square of ghiaderelli sea salt soiree every evening,after a full day of staying on track it gives me something to look forward to, encourages me to stay away from junk(or forfeit my beloved chocolate) and the antioxdents and health benefits are just a plus!! Liked Tweeted and shared<3

Quality chocolate has a sophisticated taste different from a candy bar. It melts in your mouth perfectly along with combining all the flavors in your mouth. It’s a sentiment of love, perfect for V-day.

Dark chocolate has health benefits and has vitamins and minerals in it! Quality chocolate makes a perfect Valentine’s Day gift because it tastes delicious and is luxurious! Also, perfect to share with a loved one!

I don’t feel guilty giving my family dark chocolate for Valentine’s Day because I know of the health benefits. My daughter and I have insulin resistance and are trying to reverse pre-diabetes so we really need to stay away from any other kind of chocolate.

Chocolate is the perfect Valentine for everybody no matter the age and with all the variety that Ghiradelli offers, there’s something to please everybody’s taste. Everybody loves chocolate!

I think quality chocolate is in the taste. When you bite into a piece you should be able to taste the bean, and the roast. It should taste like chocolate. To give this wonderful gift for a Valentine’s Day present shows that you are thinking about the person you are giving it to and want them to have the very best.

Quality chocolate is the perfect Valentine’s gift for me because I strive to lead a healthy life, but I allow myself a treat everyday, and there is nothing better than chocolate. Chocolate is the one food I will never give up, and when I do have it, I don’t want any old chocolate. Quality, smooth, creamy, delicious chocolate is the best, and I love all of the varieties Ghiradelli has to satisfy my cravings!

I think quality chocolate makes a great gift any time of year, not just Valentine’s Day, but since Valentine’s Day is the day you tell someone special how much they mean to you, you should only give them the best.

Because on Valentine’s Day a gift of quality chocolate shows how much thought you put into it. Just any old run of the mill chocolate won’t do for Valentine’s Day. You want to show that special someone that you really put some thought into this gift for the most romantic Holiday of the year, besides that other day called your Anniversary.

High quality chocolate such as Ghirardelli is great for Valentine’s day and any other day because there is so much you can do with it and more importantly, you know its made from good quality ingredients that you’re not afraid to put in your body.

Chocolate is a GREAT gift for Valentine’s Day! From the simple pleasures of that smooth, milky chocolate taste, to the rich intenseness of dark chocolate and fruit such as raspberries, strawberries, and mangoes, to the exotic flavors of chipotle, sea salt, and YES even bacon, chocolate has a taste for everyone. Chocolate has always been a part of my life. I love sharing what I love with others. My children get so excited to receive their chocolate Valentine’s Day heart and my husband likes his special treat of chocolate for Valentine’s Day. Chocolate puts a smile on your face.

“Liked” Ghiradelli, (easy!), and shared your article about potassium on Facebook. Chocolate makes a great Valentine gift because it is luxurious, tasty and good for you! I am giving my daughter and grandchildren chocolate for Valentine’s Day along with home made Valentine cards. We don’t necessarily have chocolate every day, so it makes it even more special. If I win, that’s a lot of chocolate, of course I would share!

Giving somebody quality Ghirardelli chocolates really lets them know you love them. Lesser quality chocolates would be like hugs, quality Ghirardelli chocolates would be like a night of passionate love. And even though you should always let somebody know that you love them, Valentine’s Day is meant for love.

Chocolate Yum..I love Dark Chocolate better than any other, the bitterness and sweet combined it a perfect combination. For Valentines it is a true love and my hubby always surprises me with chocolates every year for the 20yrs we have been Married. Even when he was deployed and I am expecting Nothing he would surprise me with chocolates and flowers. So its perfect that the two go together..

quality chocolate makes a great and healthier gift for valentine’s day because you don’t have to eat a whole box to feel like you’ve had something indulgent. you can just have a bite or tow and feel fulfilled.

Giving quality chocolate shows you care, because you are giving the best there is. Quality dark chocolate is not only delicious, it has health benefits also. I love Ghirardelli chocolates! They are quality chocolates that are just heavenly! Shared on Facebook!

Chocolate always feels decadent. But we all know that the right chocolate – in the right amount – is good for you, too. Giving high quality chocolate like Ghirardelli (who makes perfect-portion squares) shows that you want them to have the best of both worlds.

Buying quality chocolate, typically dark chocolate nowadays makes a great present for Valentine’s Day. Not many people dislike chocolate so it is a great gift either to male or female, not to mention it is also an aphrodisiac.

Chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is good for the heart and helps with keeping your mood upbeat. So what better way to tell your Valentine, you are in my heart and I want you happy and healthy? The better quality, the better results.

The stereotype is that women love chocolate more then men. In my house, its the other way around. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy chocolate but my husband…well…its like air to him. So since there’s a history of heart disease in his family, I need to give him the best of the best. Ghirardelli would be the perfect Heart Day gift, from my heart to his!

I’m a follower of Appetite for Health and Ghirardelli on FB and have been happily receiving AH newsletter for a while. Thanks for all you do!

I subscribe to your newsletter and like Appetite for Health and Ghirardelli on Facebook. I think quality chocolate makes an excellent Valentine’s gift for those of us who like a little indulgence, but want to make sure it’s the best bang for our buck!

i like you and Ghirardelli on facebook – tony l smoaks. I signed up for your newsletter too! I think that quality chocolate makes a difference because it is more satisfying. I do not allow myself too many sweets so when I do have some I want them to be of the highest quality so that I am able to enjoy myself!

For me, chocolate is pretty much its own food group, though I’m always afraid that I won’t appreciate it as much if it eat it as frequently. I know it has an amazing amount of benefits for both my mental and physical being, but I never find myself going to get a nice bar, or a couple nice pieces….I’m always waiting for that “special” occasion. For me, Valentine’s Day isn’t just sharing the love I have with my boyfriend, but also with my friends, those who are but near and far in proximity. It’s a day to remind them of how special they are and how that really have molded the person that I am today in so many ways. Having chocolate on a day like February 14th would be special for so many reasons, and Ghiradelli definitely makes some of the best! I would love to be able to share this awesome prize with those close to me (it would definitely taste better too!).

Seriously though, A nice bit of dark chocolate is an excellent reminder that one does not have to give up tasty food when eating healthily.

… Then there’s the fact that chocolate causes the brain to release the same chemicals in your brain that sex does – specifically “afterglow” – for women. So there’s a reason we tend to go for the chocolate after a break-up. Oxytocin!

I’ve been receiving your newsletter for a while, and love your articles, but today HAS to be my favorite. I mean Chocolate, and Dark Chocolate on top of that!?!? Yummm… One thing I will NOT eat is that waxy boxed junk from the grocery or drug store. That stuff is nasty, and a waste of money. I would much rather spend a little more on quality chocolate that is creamy and actually melts in your mouth, which is why I LOVE Ghirardelli. And since I live in the North Bay Area, I’m fortunate enough to be able to visit their store every once in a while. This is a perfect giveaway, and I would love to win this to share with my family. Thanks for telling more people about this wonderful brand of chocolate!

Quality chocolate like Ghirardelli is a must for any recipe, from chocolate chip cookies to just a sweet gift for someone. It is the only chocolate I buy, especially on Valentine’s Day! And it is the only chocolate I want to recieve.

Once you start eating quality chocolate, there is no going back. I would share this with my mom who loves hazelnut in her chcolate. I may be fasting for Ash Wednesday, but I did not give up chocolate for Lent. Keeps me in a good mood.

No better aphrodisiac than chocolate. Gets the heart pumping and improves heart health. On a day that celebrates hearts, chocolate especially the good quality kind like from Ghiradelli’s, is the way to go!

Liked you on Facebook! Hope to get some heart healthy chocolate for this upcoming heartfelt Valentine’s Day!

On the “one of life’s pleasures” side, chocolate is an indulgence that needs to be fed. Nothing can change a foul mood quicker or bring on a smile than a bite of wonderful, rich chocolate. On the “healthy side”, pure chocolate contains flavinoids (antioxidants). Antioxidants help prevent cancer. Talk about having your cake and eating it too. Yay chocolate! ; )

Ghiradelli Dark chocolate is the perfect Valentine’s gift. Its combination of creamy goodness and rich, luxurious cocoa entices decadent palates. Use it in hundreds recipes or indulge in eating it by itself or sharing with a friend- either way, its sure to make someone extremely happy this Valentine’s day

I have ‘liked’ Appetite for Health and Girardelli on Facebook for some time. I also follow @appetite4health on Twitter as @glutenfreesista.

I have found several of your articles from the newsletter and shared them, so there is no specific one that is more appplicable to me. Today, I shared the post “potassium-rich foods” because as we age, we also react more to sodium. Hopefully more of my ‘retired friends’ will listen and reduce their sodium intake. I started using the guidelines of the DASH plan a few years ago.

Good quality chocolate removes the need to to eat another piece just to get the total enjoyment.
Ghirardelli Squares are so good I want to keep eating them, but the one piece just makes it worthwhile!

This would be a great Valentine gift for me because I just love Ghirardelli Squares!

I think my husband would really go for the Intense Dark™ Sea Salt Soiree bar. Chocolate has been most often the favorite gift to give. I would love to receive some dark chocolates. So, giving quality dark chocolates ( and maybe some milk chocolates) would be the way to ones heart.

Chocolate makes everything better. Quality chocolate can change any day. You can always tell that Ghirardelli is made with love! I love it so much I actually will save calories in a tough day to relax with a hot cup of tea and a chocolate caramel square! Sharing that feeling with your significant other is a pure love moment!

I think chocolate makes a great V-Day & anytime gift because chocolate is good for ur heath, it helps release endorphin to make u happy, plus they say chocolate can be an aphrodigiac (how ever that is spelt)

As three time breast cancer survivor,your dark chocolate is my medicine every night,and I could not think of another better medicine than yours.The darker the per centage the better.Thank you for this opportunity.

Quality dark chocolate made by Ghirardelli is the best Valentine’s gift! It is good for your heart, your brain and contains theobromine and is full of antioxidants and minerals (potassium, copper, magnesium and iron). Good dark chocolate has a low glycemic index which helps control your blood sugar. So giving quality chocolate is like giving someone love in the form of something good for your health!

Quality chocolate is such a rare and wonderful indulgence that it makes the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for someone you truly care about. Chocolate is the universal language of love because of its richness, melt-in-your-mouth satisfaction, and out-of-this-world flavor! This is not simply a box of sweets but is the sweetest box of heaven anyone could receive!

My Christmas Ghiradelli stock is almost gone, so it’s time to replenish with this wonderful dark chocolate for Valentin’es Day! It is a must for me to have my daily 2 oz of quality dark chocolate as part of a heart-healthy and satisfying diet! Ghiradelli is always the best way to say I Love You to anyone, including yourself for Valentine’s Day and for any day!

This ghirardelli chocolate gift set would make the perfect valentines present. What’s not to love about chocolate?!?! Plus dark chocolate has antioxidants which are good for you & giving someone something that has a health benefit is a plus in my book.

A piece of high percentage cacao DARK chocolate is an Epicurus delight to the palate and soothing to the soul. Awesome with a glass of Cabernet. I wish I could have a chocolate SPA! Enough foolishness…sometimes all you need is one great piece to wash away the days’ troubles. AHHHHHH… <3

Quality chocolate makes the perfect Valentine’s gift because, well, who really wants to receive cheap chocolate? It makes you look good giving it and makes the recipient grateful that you didn’t just stop by the Dollar Store for generic brand candy bars.There’s just something about Ghirardelli chocolates that’s so delicious. It’s so creamy and just perfect. I will always pay more for quality chocolate … and their new sea salt bar is to DIE FOR!

Chocolate is just one of those things to can brighten up your today. Flowers are nice when you first get them but then they die in a week time and you have to toss them. Chocolate, while it may last long either (super chocolate lover), is visually appealing to look at and is something you can eat! I’m all for that!

There are a lot of situations, people and events when a chocolate is a perfect “excuse” to connect everything in our life: love, joy, happiness, smiles, gifts, imagination, desserts, friends, lovers, party, picnic, Christmas, family, children, youth, laugh, hugs, kisses… this list doesn’t have end. That’s the reason why quality chocolate makes a perfect Valentine’s Day gift!! It’s a special day in our life and we need to share a special gift with someone special! <3

Signed up for newsletter, liked both Facebook pages -already liked Ghirardelli and shared on my Facebook page. Mmmm…chocolate! I have just recently acquired a taste for dark chocolate and I’m really liking it! It is just classy, like romance should be.

I love chocolate but it needs to be good and creamy. I find that Hershey is not creamy enough but Ghiradelli is one of the top 3 I love. Chocolate is a great pick me up during the day when I need a sweet treat and the small individually wrapped Ghiradelli chocolate are the perfect ones to grab. I wish someone would give me Ghiradelli chocolate for V-Day.

Chocolate is the soother of hurts, the relaxer of stress, and above all, the deliciousness of life. Whenever chocolate is involved, there is peace and tranquility. The finest chocolate to indulge or offer to guests is, of course, Ghirardelli because it is of the finest ingredients and the best quality!!

Nearly everyone loves chocolate for Valentines day, but receiving Ghirardelli is the ultimate. The taste and texture is so smooth, they are definitely made with care and devotion..which mirrors the sentiments we have with our love ones on such precious days.

After taking care of 5 children everyday, 2 with Autism and 1 being an infant, my days are long and full and tiring. Ghiaradelli chocolate is a great mood changer that just makes the end of the day perfect and uplifting. I have only had a few of their flavors and would love to try more. What a great way to tie in valentines day with a great mood changing quality chocolate. Now that is super sweet!

Nothing is better than quality chocolate and makes a perfect Valentines gift. For one it means that whoever is receiving the quality chocolate is worth way more than cheap, unpleasant tasting chocolate. Also, quality chocolate like Ghiradelli is worth eating even if it ruins your new years resolution, so it is totally forgivable if your special someone gives you Ghiradelli for Valentines Day

Quality chocolate for Val’s Day: yes, it makes all the difference. What could be worse than el-cheapo, bland chocolate? Ghiradelli’s is always in my home, and especially on Valentine’s Day, because quality chocolate is a symbol of quality love and life.

Quality chocolate makes the best Valentine’s gift because it’s so delicious and shows you care. Anyone can grab a basic chocolate while standing in the checkout line. But giving quality chocolate shows you care and you want the best for your Valentine. Indulge on the special day!

I love excellent quality chocolate and this is my first go to brand. I have tried Ghirardelli chocolate with sea salt & caramel, raspberries, oranges,& many other varieties of it. It is by far my favorite chocolate. Everyone needs the heart healthy antioxidants that are in dark chocolate, which is my favorite, but I like milk chocolate as well. It just has to be “perfect” for my chocolate fix. I have ordered APH’s newsletter and liked both APH and Ghirardelli on Facebook.

Ghiradelli milk chocolate with caramel is my favorite chocolate of any brand. =) I would love to try the new types, though. I never get out of my comfort zone to try other flavors. Oh, I love this site! I’m now following on Facebook and Pinterest. Thanks for all the work you put in! I shared on Facebook, Pinterest, Google Plus, and I emailed it out to my contacts on hotmail and gmail.

Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate is healthy than plain chocolate alone tempting chocolate fanatics every where a new means healthier chocolate for the pure pleasure of chocolate at your cravings!! topped with a healthier salt Sea salt what could be better

Dark Chocolate is soooo great – all chocolate is great. There is alot of difference in eating a high quality chocolate regular chocolate – enjoy the wonderful flavor – Ghiradelli is really tasty and one of the best!!!

Great chocolate always makes the perfect gift for Valentine’s Day and Ghirardelli Chocolate signifies quality chocolate and ingredients.
I have signed up for your newsletter and liked both the newsletter and Ghirardelli on Facebook.

Good chocolate can make any moment better, but great chocolate can make fix a whole day’s worth of issues. Ghiradelli Chocolate is like opening a small piece of paradise. Every piece feels like a new experience.

Well chocolate is always the way to go for me to me its like you giving that person a hug without even touching them or even being their !!!! But a hug is also a nice thing to do!! I am a chocoholic and I say it loud and proud lol!

Good chocolate is important in my family. When he was literally on his deathbed, my grandfather (Emery Weber) made my uncle promise him that my grandmother would always have top quality chocolate. My uncle swore and upheld an oath to keep Granny in chocolate until the day she died. THAT is true romance. These weren’t sexy young people. They were old and wrinkled, having lived through many years and hard times. Good chocolate is a great gift for anyone at any time, but in my family our profoundly deep love of chocolate, combined with my grandfather’s devoted act of love, makes chocolate the perfect gift, even if you have to buy it for yourself..

I prefer quality dark chocolates. That way I know that I’m giving my body something that has health benefits and not just something for my sweet tooth. If its something I feel good about giving myself then I can feel good about giving to the ones I love for a valentines gift. It’s smooth,dark,perfectly balanced flavors that come in a wide variety is a great choice for everyone.

I’m already signed up for our e-newsletter and “Like” Appetite for Health and Ghirardelli on Facebook. I shared one of your articles https://twitter.com/tiramisu8/status/301906309350043648 I think quality chocolate makes a perfect Valentine’s Day gift because so much more care and art is put into making quality chocolate. That’s why you can taste the difference and even feel its smooth texture in your mouth.

Quality chocolate makes the perfect Valentine’s day gift because seriously, who doesn’t like chocolate? Look how many comments there are to win it? I mean really you can’t go wrong. Why good quality chocolate? Well, it’s the difference between classy and trashy. And Ghirardelli is most defiantly classy.

I am a massage therapist and I use Ghiradelli chocolates as a nice after session treat to my clients. I care so much for my clients and only want to offer a quality treat. I have found Ghiradelli is perfect!

Quality Ghiradelli dark chocolate is great tasting and also good for you. It helps to combat free radicals in the human body (free radicals cause cancer). So why not enjoy something that tastes delicious and is good for your health all at the same time?

You can’t beat good quality chocolate and the best is always a good thing to give to others. Ghirardelli chocolates are the best my daughter just showed me on skype what she was giving her valentine and it was Ghirardelli Vanilla Bean and Chocolate Covered Strawberry. If I had been on her campus I think I may have grabbed them and run off

It makes a perfect Valentine’s gift because It can be enjoyed by all…Chocolate seems to make everything better…It says everything from I love you to I will be your best friend and I am always here for you!

Chocolates, especially well made chocolates are a great gift for valentines day because they release endorphins and make people happy, also dark chocolate is great for the heart! Chocolate is fantastic, especially Ghirardelli chocolate!

My Valentine is the most special thing to me…. So he will get the best there is for his chocolate. He loves chocolate and he loves Ghiradelli… He and I visited Ghiradelli Square on our visit to California on our 10th Wedding anniversary. We will be celebrating our 26th in a couple of weeks. We will always remember our visit there…

Chocolate is the best Valentine’s Day gift to give to anyone. I don’t know anyone that doesn’t love chocolate and I believe that chocolate is the best way to say, I love you. It’s the best indulgence to share with the one you love and Ghiradelli is the perfect chocolate.

The name Ghiradelli means not only delicious, premium chocolate…it is also a name you can trust and feel great giving as a gift for special occasions or just as a way of showing someone your thinking of them. You also feel good giving a gourmet gift from the heart and there is no other chocolate that compares to this…it is our family’s favorite, we <3 it !!

I think quality chocolate makes a perfect Valentine’s Day gift because it tastes so wonderful, good for your health and you won’t be given the wrong size…..ok the box can be too small but NEVER too large

I love dark chocolate and Ghirardelli Chocolates are my favorite. I always have a bag of your dark chocolate at my office and one at home…it usually is our dessert! I just bought your new “cabaret” dark chocolate bar and added it to my hubby’s Valentines day gift. So thanks for making such a delicious dark chocolate and I hope to visit you in SanFrancisco sometime soon!!

I gave some chocolate to my mom for valentines day because she does love quality chocolate and she says that’s her indulgence so she doesnt over do other sweets. Giving quality and the best to my mom is important to me and for healths sake even sweeter!

My husband and I do not indulge in chocolate very much but when we do it is most definitely Ghirardelli. We had the pleasure of going to the candy and ice cream facility in San Francisco and it was marvelous. We are hooked on Ghirardelli!

Quality chocolate is the best for Valentines, as it shows the one you love that they deserve nothing but the best and top quality. It’s a symbol of love and what better way to make someone feel appreciated than to show up with Ghirardelli chocolates. They have been my favorite since I was little and to me they represent top pure quality. I would be disappointed if I received something other than Ghirardelli chocolates.

Chocolate makes a great gift because it not only taste good but has a lot of benefits too. It is good for your heart (broken or healthy ), can satisfy a sweet tooth even when on a diet. Dark chocolate is good for you and contains antioxidants and it is good for the brain. Chocolate has been proven to actually help with stress. Chocolate helps with your emotions. Kids love it which is a big help to moms and dads everywhere. I think Chocolate is great and would love to share some with my kids

I have signed up for the newsletter and liked both sites on Facebook. My philosphy is not to eat anything that does not make me happy. Good chocolate especially Ghiradelli makes me very happy. Ghiradelli is what I bought my husband for Valentine’s day and also Christmas.

No only does Ghiradelli make some of the worlds best chocolate, but my wife and I took a trip to San Francisco for one of our anniversaries so eating Ghiradelli’s chocolate always takes us back to that trip.

There is nothing so pleasant a taste as good chocolate. It also shows your special person that you care……that old slogan “when you care enough to send the very best”…..applies to chocolate. and the plus side that dark chocolate is good for you….can’t beat that:)

I love chocolate, so if there is anything I could indulge one, that would be the way to my heart… but there is nothing worse than biting into a chalky, tasteless and overly sugary piece of chocolate, not to mention the fact that bad chocolate is pretty unhealthy for you. Good quality cacao on the other hand has many benefits that make its a delicious but also healthy treat.

My husband Mike and I love dark chocolate and Ghiradelli’s makes the best hands down! We love to have chocolate before we go to bed at night, it’s something we have done for years! And the way they are packaged makes them ideal to keep in the nightstand. They are great tasting and good for you as well, dark chocolate is good for your memory! Scientists say you should eat an ounce of dark chocolate to keep your memory sharp! I have liked on all pages and shared some information on the calories that are in Girl Scout cookies on my Facebook page as that’s whats going around right now. The carmel filled ones are great also!! Sorry don’t know how to share the link for my post for Appetite for Health.

If you are going to give a gift of chocolate, it is VERY important to make sure it is the good stuff. There is nothing worse than being the recipient of a chocolatey gift, waking up at 2am the following night to your brain saying “THERE IS CHOCOLATE UPSTAIRS, GO! GO! GO!”, climbing up the stairs (stepping on sharp toys the whole way) finally making it to the kitchen, grabbing the chocolate, biting into it, and realizing it is IN FACT a super crappy dollar store knock off of something “CRUNCHy” that wasn’t even good to begin with. This stuff is so bad, MILK doesnt even make it swallow-able…. which leads to me going back to bed, grabbing ALL the blankets in a puffy manner, and being quite grouchy the next day. Moral? GET THE GOOD STUFF

I love Ghirardelli chocolate!! I bought tons of it at Christmas time. You can definitely taste the quality and pure scrumptiousness in every bite, and it makes an awesome Valentine’s day gift. So much more delightful than cheap chocolate, which is what my husband always gives me…lol! So this year, I’m giving him some delicious Ghirardelli…..and he better get the hint…..or else!! Lol! <3 <3

I love, love, love Ghirardelli chocolates! It is the only chocolate that I use, I made my hubby chocolate covered strawberries for Valentines! It is the best chocolate that I have ever tasted and if they don’t have it, I go to a different store

I am a stay at home mom of a three and five year old. Chocolate is a must to help keep my sanity on the “rough” day and Ghirardelli is my favorite! Valentine’s means I will be getting an extra stash of chocolate from my sweetie.

Chocolate has a calming effect on me and makes me feel loved. My bf has a drawer filled with chocolate and when he sees that I am getting grumpy, he hands me one and all my troubles melt away. What says I love you more than chocolate and me not ripping his head off? It is a win, win!

I have some dark chocolate every day. It reminds me of the wonderful times with my Grandfather when he would sneak me a chocolate bar when I was little. And at other times, it is the most romantic item to eat with the one you love, so smooth and creamy. There is nothing like it on this earth. No wonder it releases “feel good” hormones when you eat it!!,

Valentine’s day is about showing your special someone that you love them and nothing says “I Love You” quite like dark chocolate. We all love our sweats and by giving them something that is good as well as good for your hearts just says I want to keep you happy and healthy so that we can be together forever.

I came in 2nd at a local county Ghirardelli dessert contest last year and I believe it is the best chocolate! My Chocolate Covered Strawberry Trifle was made better by using Ghirardelli products! The best!

Nothing says “I love you” better than dark chocolate and nobody makes dark chocolate better than Ghirardelli. Spending a quiet evening at home with your loved one and sharing some Ghirardelli chocolate is the best date ever.

I already like Ghiradelli on facebook, I tweeted the contest
I signed up for AFH Newsletter and liked them on facebbook
I tweeted the article about Calories in Girl Scout Cookies –
I pinned the recipe for Homemade honey sweetened Granola
I shared a link on facebook about AFH and this contest.

I am not sure how to share the links of them. Sorry.
Happy Valentines Day.

i tihnk chocolate is a good vday gift because love is like chocolate, it can be sweet for you and feel really good but then sometimes you may get an surprise in it whether it be nuts or something real nice.

This is a smooth quality chocolate…I enjoy dark more than milk due to the nutritional and antioxidents it has. It is true that if you enjoy one square of dark chocolate a day you have more out of that square that is good for you than if you sat and ate a square of milk that had half that..I do love a quality chocolate and Ghirardelli is the brand I prefer to buy in the store if I had the money..but it also makes a great gift too!

My absolute favorite food in the world is chocolate. Especially dark chocolate. The first time I ever tried Ghirardelli chocolate, I was hooked! Every week I treat myself to a bar. I never win anything and I would love, love, love to win this!!! Thank you for the opportunity to win this wonderful gift! This is ALL I want for Valentine’s day!!!

I’ve always purchased the best chocolate I can afford. If purchasing as a gift, it shows that you think the other person is really special. I would love to win this as I am alone on Valentine’s Day. Thank you!

Good chocolate is worth the money! Sure you can go to the dollar store and buy some cheap chocolate but you will also get cheap taste! As a chocolate lover, as most women are, if you want to leave a good impression, do it with the best…get Ghirardelli!! She will thank you for it!

With a beautiful silky texture Ghirardelli chocolate is the perfect treat to finish off a great meal, and a satisfying taste to end an evening…or begin an evening of sweetness. Chocolate always puts a smile on my face!

Ghirardelli chocolate is delicious and great gift for Valentine’s My husband & I love chocolate & Ghirardelli is our favorite. It’s smooth, creamy and goes with everything. We took a trip to San Francisco last December and made a special point to go in the Ghirardelli store where the factory used to be located. It was wonderful!

I’ve liked AFH and Ghirardelli and have shared the Girl Scout cookie article. I love receiving the newsletter! Thanks so much!

Hello and thanks for stopping by to read my bio.
A few things about my early years…
I grew up in Jackson Heights, Queens (NYC). My natural curiosity and love of a good joke blossomed early: at age five I greased up our toilet seat with Vaseline to see which family … [Read More...]
